In an older article on Xbox Wire, Microsoft clarified a number of different topics as they relate to Xbox One games on Xbox Series X, the Smart Delivery program, and optimization for next-gen hardware. To be clear, Microsoft confirmed that the following list will continue to grow to include more games that will be optimized for Xbox Series X and support Smart delivery.
Halo Infinite
Cyberpunk 2077
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
Destiny 2
Watch Dogs Legion
Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2
DiRT 5
Scarlet Nexus
Chorus
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2
Yakuza: Like a Dragon
The Ascent
Call of the Sea
Gears 5
Second Extinction
Metal: Hellslinger
For the uninitiated, Smart Delivery is a new program from Microsoft that lets you download an Xbox Series X-optimized version of a game for free if you already own it for Xbox One. Microsoft says the tech is available to all of their third-party developers, but that it'll be up to each individual studio as to whether a game will support Smart Delivery. Microsoft has also confirmed that the above games will support Smart Delivery even if you're playing them on Xbox Game Pass. Want to know more?

Further, some Xbox Series X-optimized games will be available after the console launches. Cyberpunk 2077, Microsoft notes, will be playable for free on Xbox Series X at launch if you own it on Xbox One, but the optimized version will come at a later date.
Finally, Microsoft also clarified that cross-progression is a feature supported by Smart Delivery, so your progress carries over from the Xbox One version to the Xbox Series X-optimized game.
